Christuskirche, Protestant church in northern Speyer, Germany
Christuskirche is a Protestant church in northern Speyer featuring a 45-meter (150-foot) concrete tower topped with a copper covering. The building shows textured red brick walls and stained glass windows that create patterns of colored light inside the sanctuary.
Construction began in 1961 with the vicarage, followed by the main sanctuary built between 1962 and 1964 under the design of architect Egon Freyer. This period reflects postwar church expansion and the modernist approach to religious architecture in Protestant communities.
The church serves the community as a gathering place for worship and meetings, with its architecture reflecting Protestant design principles from the 1960s. The space draws both believers and visitors who experience how a modern place of faith integrates into daily neighborhood life.
The church is located in an accessible area of northern Speyer with a straightforward layout that is easy to navigate. Visitors will find the interior well-maintained and available for worship services or respectful viewing during regular hours.
A spiral organ completed in 2000 winds upward along a concrete pillar in an uncommon spatial arrangement that few visitors initially notice. This instrument demonstrates an inventive solution to integrating music and structure within the architect's design philosophy.
